Feeder Box Substrate?

[camo13]

Hey guys just a curiosity, If you have chosen to feed you python in a seperate box to it's normal enclosure is it best to have the same substrate that is in their regular enclosure or does it not really make a difference? Any opinions appreciated

Hi,

When i feed in a seperate box i generaly use no substrate to avoid any odd chance that it might get swollowed. I supose you could use news paper or something like that too.

i don't use anything in my feed containers.

I generally just have paper in the bottom, but if there is none in there at the time it doesn't matter. Usually the only thing i have is a hide in there incase they want it. I put a towel over the tub anyway. Doesn't really matter because they are usually not in there for any more than 30mins or so.

Paper or nothing. I only use paper if i plan on keeping the snake in the feeding enclosure until it craps.

I use a piece of news paper on the bottom of the feeding tub more for something to grip on rather than slipping around on the plastic...

Newspaper... Easy to to dispose and replace...

Nothing - fear of ingesting substrate is the reason I feed in a seperate tub.

Snakes are really smart critters they only eat what they know is good for them... :lol:
